Overview of Purchasing Multiple Locations
Moz Local is a location-based service, which means that you must purchase a subscription for any location you wish to manage through the tool. You can manage multiple locations within the same dashboard and login, but each one will need to have its own subscription.
With the bulk purchase option in Moz Local, you have the ability to purchase multiple locations in one transaction.
Bulk purchase is available as long as you are planning to purchase the same level plan for every location in the transaction and all the locations are within the same country. If you need to purchase locations in different countries or at different plan levels, those will need to be purchased in separate transactions.
You can view our various subscription levels and their prices per location on our pricing page.
Purchase Process Checklist
When purchasing multiple locations in Moz Local, the following steps will need to be taken in order to successfully complete the process.
Confirm the country for your locations (All locations within the same transaction must be within the same country)
Select your billing cadence - Monthly or Yearly using the drop-down
Select your Moz Local plan level (All locations within the same transaction must be the same plan level)
Download the CSV template provided, enter your location details, and upload the CSV
Confirm your location details were uploaded correctly and proceed with the purchase process to complete your transaction
Once the transaction is complete and your locations are created, access the Moz Local Dashboard and add your remaining location data to start the sync process. Location creation within your Moz Local Dashboard may take up 5-10 minutes to complete.
Please note: Locations will not begin to sync with all directories until the primary category and phone number are entered via the location’s Profile in Moz Local. In order for the location setup process to be considered finished, step 5 must be completed.
For more information about each step in the purchase process, please see the Getting Started and Purchasing Multiple Locations sections of this guide.

I’m receiving a “Please fix these errors” message when trying to purchase
If you’re receiving an error when attempting to purchase via bulk upload, this indicates that there is something misformatted in your CSV which is inhibiting our ability to properly parse the file. Within the tool, you should see a red error message that notes what the specific issue is and for which line of the CSV.
![The errors noted in-app will specify which CSV row needs to be fixed along with the specific data error.](https://moz.com/images/help/large/Moz-Local-Bulk-Purchase-Errors.png?w=2014&h=1558&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&dm=1618252817&s=859308c5c14f00b27f2870b8ba0cdefd)
To resolve the issue, please update the CSV to account for error messages and then re-upload the new file to continue the purchase process.
